When I see Allison, in the next scene I either think I am going to the wonders of Kingdom Hearts or the horrors of Silent Hill.

The creepy is strong with that character model!

It's so deep into the uncanny valley I don't think it will ever find its way back out again >.<

I'm not seeing what's creepy? She just looks like a Final Fantasy character to me.

Probably due to the way she's just always STARING at the camera, and thus the player. I mean, it makes sense due to the premise, but it doesn't make it less creepy to those of us who have had experience in the Uncanny Valley. That and there's kind of a weightless feel to her movements and how she interacts with objects.

And while the song she sings in English is very well pronounced, I can still hear bits of Japanese accent there (particularly the odd annunciation of "flight"). Would've helped a lot if they had an actual native English speaker voice Allison, as she doesn't really sound like one.
